Zawisza Czarny is the name of two Polish sailing-ships owned by the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association, ZHP.[citation needed]
History
[edit]Zawsisza Czarny used to be a fishing vessel. After that use it was rebuilt to become a sailing vessel. Three masts were fitted on it and the motor that was built in was an old motor from a U-boat.[citation needed]
One of the most interesting sailing voyages is certainly its trip to Cape Horn.[citation needed]
Remarkable are also the sailing trips during which half of the crew consisted of blind people.[citation needed]
It is now owned by the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association, ZHP and its home harbor is Gdynia.[1]
Rig
[edit]The rig is one of a very rare kind. The three masts are rigged as a wishbone ketch. Only a few sailing vessels are using it today and it is mainly seen on smaller units.
